Overview

The program is used to analyze a local network (LAN) and offers identification of all devices in the network, capturing their IP addresses, MAC addresses, and, if applicable, their DNS names.

Database Integration: Stores the captured device information in a MySQL database. The database highlights newly discovered and previously captured devices in different colors: red for new devices, white for current devices, and blue for devices no longer found.

A MySQL database and a web server in the LAN are prerequisites.

HTML Output: Regularly generates an HTML page with an overview of all discovered devices.

Real-time monitoring: Continuous scanning at intervals to detect changes or new devices. Intervals and other parameters can be configured in a config.file.

Start the program in the command prompt and stop it by pressing the Enter key.

sudo ./scandb4

after unzip u get 4 files, ... the "devices_list.html" is just a sample u can look at. this file will be generated in ur root web Server path. in the db_config.ini check the line: html_output_path = /Users/Shared/python/scanip/devices_list.html either point usr webserver to this path or change it in the db_config.ini

start ur web server

go to ur MySQL DB admin an create a new database "scanner", create a new user "scanner" and set a password. grant all rights for the new user "scanner" to only the new database "scanner"

open a terminal, create the directory /Users/Shared/python/scanip/ an move the db_config.ini and the executeable scandb4 in that directory.

start the executable with sudo ./scandb4

an output will start after 5-10sec

admin@macSURBUL-2 scan4db % sudo ./scandb4

the program will tell each time, it generate the devices_list.html file. until u press "Enter"

Netzwerkscan beendet.
admin@macSURBUL-2 scan4db %

up to now, need to have sudo rights, ... because use ARP and other libs for scan the network

there are some more option to play with in the db_config.ini

the refresh_time = 10 it the refresh for the scan, ... in seconds.

inactive_timeout = 5 # Timeout in minutes, will mark a device "red" in the html output, to show the device not answer in the last 5 minutes !

[columns] u can rewite to differnt languages.

the rest ist css playing

...

next step for the program will be more tables to get the DNS name, and an more information manualy to each device. (OS, Version, location, funtions of the device, and so on)

have fun.

have question or a feed back .... write to scan@loeh.org
